What is it: HPV, or human papillomavirus is a sexually transmitted infection.
How common: HPV is extremely common–75 percent of all women will eventually come in contact with this virus. But the good news is that most of those cases will clear up by themselves in as little as two years.

Abbott, J&J and Merck, Through a Spate of Deals, Expand in a Category With Built-In Buyers

BY JONATHAN D. ROCKOFF AND PETER LOFTUS

Amid rising concern about the threat of influenza pandemics, three big drug makers announced deals Monday that give them rights to new flu vaccines, placing bets on one of the pharmaceutical industry’s brightest, but riskiest, segments.

Vaccines are the quackery of modern medicine. Mass vaccination programs not only fail to protect the population from infectious disease, they actually accelerate the spread of disease in many cases.

Many website have cropped up over the last few years to counter the pro-vaccine propaganda put out by drug companies (who profit from vaccines) and health regulators (who serve the drug companies). One of those sites is www.VaccinationDebate.com , which lists the following historical facts about vaccines:

Most of my adult life I have lived with the knowledge that I am at increased risk of cervical cancer. As a DES Daughter I have a lifetime risk of a rare clear-cell cancer of the cervix/vagina. This cancer, causally linked to in utero exposure to DES, is aggressive, symptomless and the usual Pap smear will not pick it up. I have to have an annual “DES examination” that involves colposcopy. (For more on the DES story: www.desaction.org.au )

Merck’s quest to expand the use of Gardasil to boys may have hit a snag. A new study by Harvard researchers found that vaccinating all boys with the human papillomavirus shot may be less cost-effective than for girls, Bloomberg reports. The improvements in quality and length of life aren’t as marked in boys as in girls, the study found, and its authors recommended that health officials focus on vaccinating girls against HPV.

Merck, however, has done its own analysis of the numbers, looking at boys and young men up to age 26. HPV causes cancers of the anus and penis, along with the cervix, and vaccinating males may not only prevent their illness but curtail the spread to women. Plus, Gardasil protects against strains of HPV that cause genital warts, which affect men as well as women, the company points out.

A U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) advisory panel voted to recommend approval of three popular psychotropic medications—atypical antipsychotics— for children with specific conditions. The vote concerned AstraZeneca PLC’s Seroquel, Eli Lilly and Company’s Zyprexa, and Pfizer Inc.’s Geodon .

According to the agency’s advisory panel, the three drugs have been deemed safe and effective for pediatric patients—children and teens—who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, Reuters reported. However while the panel did recommend approval of the broader use for Seroquel, Zyprexa, and Geodon, it did warn about the drugs’ long-term effects in children, said Reuters. All three drugs are approved for use in adults and, like any other medication, can be used off-label if the prescribing physician feels the medication is warranted, in this case, to children, Reuters pointed out. An expanded approval by the FDA would enable the industry to market the drugs for kids.
